You wanna rock. And rock is what Twisted Sister does without compromise on Stay Hungry, an album that soon after its release became a leading symbol in the much-controversial fight against the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC). Filled with good, clean fun, hard-rock ferocity, and laser-focused purpose, the triple-platinum effort survives as a testament to old-school band chemistry and never-say-die ambition. Musically, it balances rebellious rawness with mainstream-friendly touches in the form of catchy melodies, shout-it-out-loud choruses, and simple albeit effective themes. And unlike many of the hair-metal records with which it remains mistakenly associated, Stay Hungry never pretends or postures. The opening title track spells out the group’s intent from the start, with the overt references to desperation, dreams, strength, and passion drawing a clear line in the sand. Such sentiments are furthered by “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” an unforgettable call-to-arms anthem still heard ‘round the world on radio stations, at sporting venues, and in the minds of anyone needing a shot of perseverance.
